The News Record SERVING THE PEOPLE OF MADISON COUNTY On thm Inside . ? . Marshall Class looks at itself 20 years later (Page 2) 77th Year, No. 33 PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE COUNTY SEAT AT MARSHALL, N.C. THURSDAY, August 17, 1978 15' Per Copy Baptists Give $771,000 To Churches By JOE L. MORGAN The 171ft annual session of the French Broad Baptist ? Association was held with the California Creek Baptist Church last Thursday night and with the Piney Mountain Baptist Church last Friday morning. The annual meetings were the celebration of a successful year. 162 delegates and 27 visitors attended. A perusal of church letters from the 48 churches of the association reveals that 163 were added to the churches through profession of faith and baptism whereas 149 were 126,800 Spent On Mission Projects ,* Fish Heads Association added via letters. The total church membership is 8,600 with 4,432 enrolled in Sunday schools and 2,267 going to Vacation Bible Schools. Baptists have been liberal in giving this year as 1771,274 was the total receipts with $28,439 allocated to the cooperative program and $126,835 expended on missions. The treasurer's report for the year reflects a balance in the black for 1978. The budget for 1978-79 will be almost $17,000. The Ordination Advisory Committee has recommended Billy Bruce Murray, Dale Robinson and Glenn Willard Reid for the Gospel Ministry. Moderator Stanley Peek wrote in the Executive Committee report that an action by the Wake Forest College Board of Trustees to approve the receipt of federal aid was contrary to the will of the North Carolina Baptist State Convention and not in the best interests of Baptists in this state. Also, the association leaders protested the liquor-by-the-drink drive in the state legislature. The historian's report noted the significance of the Pastors' and Deacons' Con ference held at California Creek Baptist Church last fall and considers it "one of the finest projects ever sponsored by the association." An active board of deacons is essential for effective force for good in any church. Also commended were the men in the French Board Association who helped build a church in a neighboring association which was swept away last November by floods. Also commended were the association day camp, the July trip to Canada and several successful revivals. Many improvements in the physical plants of many churches were also com plimented. The superintendent of missions, the Rev. E.J. Jenkins, has been busy, as usual, during the past year and has high goals for next year with the theme, "Bold Mission Thrust." The Home for the Aged report indicated that the new WNC Baptist Home in Asheville is expected to be completed about January 1979. NEXT YEAR S SITES In 1979 Walnut and Calvary churches will be the meeting places of the association. The night session will be at Walnut on August 9 and the day session will be held at the new Calvary church on Aug. 10. 1978-79 OFFICERS Officers of the French Broad Baptist Association for 1978-79 are: moderator, Owen Fish; vice moderator, the Rev.

Some have promised as high as a 50 percent discount while a few have promised as low as a 5 percent discount. "On the whole," Dorothy Shupe says, "our businesses are cooperating with the program and giving as much discount as their firms can promise at this time. Only a few have refused, but all have been friendly and courteous when I have approached them for a discount for the aging. Some have asked me to come ' back after they have discussed the idea with their partners, or headquarters for the chain stores."
